    For 3 days in a row. I came in sat down and ordered something on my phone. Each day, one of the…read moreemployees bugged me and ask me to order or leave. When I tell then I did on the app. They made a face and walked off. I wonder why they only ask me this? Mostly the tall lady with the glasses.

    "You can't sit in here unless you buy something! Are you going to order?" Says the Barista as I…read morefrantically try to connect to my meeting that wasn't connecting. I was here a total of 7 minutes by the way. Yes, I walked in didn't order anything as I was setting up for my meeting but instead I would feel that it would be polite to say something like "Hello can I take your order" or "I see you're settled, I can take your order when you're ready" I would have gladly preferred that instead. You Starting off a conversation without a hello, how are you? Can I be any of assistance? Is just terrible customer service to me! I felt offended and rushed to hurry my order before being potentially kicked out of an empty Starbucks! Due to so much stuff happening with this establishment I see why so many people boycotted Starbucks as a whole! I haven't been to this location in two years and loved how it's been renovated and it was lovely to see, however, did the staff have their morning coffee this morning because I ordered a Matcha and I still said please and thank you after being hurried to order! Do I understand I should pay before using the free wifi but where is the sign saying that must do so! My French Teacher is practicing Ramadan and I didn't want to drink in her face while she was fasting on our Zoom Call but was certainly going to order refreshments for my mom and I after the meeting. The entitlement in here and the language the baristas are discussing about each person that orders in the drive thru is unfortunate "hearing right now as I type this is "that's dumb, that's f***ing terrible !" Wow it's Sunday! I have to leave and will be ordering the rest of my breakfast at another location for my mother. Very disappointing because I really used to love this location but the staff has changed from the friendly faces from two years ago. The date today is March 2nd, 2025 I was here between the hours of 7:00-8:28A for reference of the "friendly" staff! *update I went to Oak Forest Starbucks, Staff greeted me with a "Hello, Good morning how may I help you!" WOW it's not that hard! I ordered my mom a Grande Carmel Macchiato with Almond Milk and she loved it!

    We stopped at Maple Tree Inn for a pre-concert dinner, and I found myself asking: why did I wait so…read morelong to come back? My last visit was when they were still on Old Western Ave in Blue Island--way overdue for a return. Let's start with the food--absolutely delicious. The three of us kicked things off with the Cast Iron Cornbread, and trust me, don't skip it. Perfectly done and a great start to the meal. For mains, we went with the Pitmaster's N'awlins Gumbo, Hickory Buttered BBQ Shrimp, and Burnt Ends. Every dish was spot on--flavorful, well-executed, and clearly made with care. The restaurant itself is pristine--clean, polished, and classy without feeling stuffy. Service was just as strong. Our server, Nick, was attentive, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Safe to say, it will NOT be another 30 years before my next visit. Highly recommend.

    The original location of Maple Tree Inn was located in Blue Island. This location was unfortunately…read moredestroyed in 2018 by a fire. My coworkers and I would go to the old location from time to time. Their new location opened in 2019, but this is the first time that I got to check it out. The restaurant is gorgeous! One thing that I noticed was all staff that I encountered generally looked happy. The host was super friendly and offered vegan or gluten free menus if we needed. The person that seated us also was running food and ensuring tables were kept clean. Since it had been so long since I dined here, the menu appeared smaller. I appreciated that our server Adam explained some of his favorites. The cocktail that I got was excellent. The cornbread appetizer was huge. I went with the gumbo and it was full of meat pieces. It was really flavorful. Adam was super friendly and made us feel welcome. Parking lot is tight, but they also offer valet. I highly recommend this spot if you are looking for some Louisiana style cusine.
